Abstract excerpt
Aspartic acid 244 that occurs at the putative NAD(+)-binding site of rat liver S-adenosylhomocysteinase was replaced by glutamic acid by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzyme was purified to homogeneity as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Gel...
